The Department of Computer Science invites applications for two tenure-track assistant professorships beginning July 1, 2019. Qualifications required of all applicants include a Ph.D. in Computer Science or related discipline, a strong research record, and a commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Particular attention will be given to candidates pursuing research in systems security and systems broadly defined including architecture, compilers, and parallel computation. Additionally, focus will be given to machine learning, robotics, human-computer interaction, graphics, or other areas of strategic growth.

The Department consists of a diverse group of 30 tenured and tenure track faculty members, and offers programs leading to B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. The Department has research strengths in data mining, databases, graphics, image and video computing, machine learning, natural language processing, networking, operating systems, software design and implementation, real-time systems, security and cryptography, and theory of computation and algorithms. In addition, members of the Department collaborate closely with faculty across the university including mathematics and statistics, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, earth and environment, economics, law, medicine, among others. Candidates are encouraged to demonstrate throughout their application their attention to diversity and inclusion as these topics relate to teaching, research, and engagement within the academic environment.
